Congratulations!
Camp Ware is excited to announce that Kerri Lea McFadden will be serving as Camp Director this upcoming summer! Please join us in congratulating and welcoming her to the role.
Kerri Lea is an experienced youth program leader with over 20 years of experience working with young people and more than a decade directing Cub Scout Day Camp. She specializes in creating safe, engaging, and memorable camp experiences.
She has planned and led large-scale youth events—including the Cub Scout Spookoree—managing themes, activities, volunteers, logistics, and safety. These events strengthened her skills in creative programming, crowd management, and designing activities that appeal to a wide range of ages.
She holds a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from the University of Maryland, which supports her strengths in safety planning, crisis response, and youth behavior. Her background also includes teaching science to homeschool students for 8 years and working in Cecil County Public Schools for 4 years, providing a strong foundation in child development and hands-on learning.
In her free time, she enjoys reading, journaling in her planner, and spending time with her pets —who won’t miss her this summer because they’ll have her husband and adult (or nearly adult) children wrapped around their paws.
